TPMS Sensor

The TPMS sensor contains a Lithium-ion battery that produces dangerous substances when it sustains severe mechanical harm. If this scenario arises you must flush the affected areas with water for 15 minutes before seeking emergency medical care. You should immediately contact a physician whenever anyone swallows a battery. TPMS sensors need to be disposed following specific hazardous material disposal procedures because they exist in different color variations based on their usage and the replacement needs to use sensors of matching colors since different sensor colors cannot operate interchangeably. The sensor removal process happens without requiring the strap or cradle to be separated from each other. Start the replacement process by taking the wheel at a tire while ensuring you do not utilize a big screwdriver and exercising gentleness to prevent harming the sensor locking clip. A pocket screwdriver works best to separate the sensor locking clip from the cradle after which you should disconnect the sensor before proceeding with removing the entire component. To correctly position the sensor inside the cradle you must push it all the way in until it clicks into place. Check the sensor position for proper seating before inserting a new locking clip. The orientation of the clip matters for correct insertion and full insertion should be possible when the sensor is properly situated. A fresh TPMS sensor arrives in battery saver condition so you need to activate it by fitting the wheel with tire and filling it with the recommended pressure level. Sensor training should begin only after waiting two minutes has elapsed.

The Lithium-ion battery inside the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor contains hazardous chemicals that will leak out when facing extreme mechanical damage. You should urgently flush it with water for 15 minutes then seek immediate medical care because this type of battery leakage is dangerous. Death occurs if someone swallows a battery. After getting professional medical help immediately you must properly discard hazardous materials from the TPMS sensors. One must install a new sensor with an identical color as the removed sensor since different color sensors operate independently from each other. You can easily remove and install the sensor by itself because you do not need to remove the strap or cradle. Start by extracting the tire off the wheel while using a pocket screwdriver to eliminate sensor locking clips without using big screwdrivers. This avoids sensor cradle clip damage. Insert the sensor into the cradle until it seats correctly and generates a definitive clicking sound. Install the new locking clip onto the sensor while maintaining correct orientation and verify that the sensor remains seated correctly by checking when full insertion is not possible. The procedure to activate a new TPMS sensor begins when it is properly installed on a wheel and the tire is mounted while following trunation to recommended pressure and allowing at least two minutes of waiting time prior to sensor training.

Contact a physician immediately.

Contact a physician immediately.

Repeat the activation process for the remaining tires.

The color of the new sensor must match the color of the removed sensor, as they are not interchangeable.

Ensure the sensor is fully seated in the cradle, which will produce a "click" sound when correctly positioned.

Contact a physician right away.

Begin by removing the tire from the wheel.

The horn will sound twice, and a message will indicate that the tire is not trained, necessitating a repeat of the procedure.
